Electrophoresis is a procedure to separate and/or purify the molecules like nucleic acids and proteins, under the influence of electricity. It is one of the most conventional techniques used in biotechnology, which separates the particles on the basis of charge and size they possess. Electrophoresis is a preferred method for both research and diagnostics due to its applicability for quantification and detection of biomolecules which has helped to boost the growth of the market. Moreover, the growth of the market can be attributed to growing research projects related to genes, proteins, and individual biomolecules.

Electrophoresis equipment and supplies market is expanding due to the continuous technological advancements and increasing investments in biotechnology. According to PharmaTimes December 2018, 13.5 bn USD venture capital was invested into the biotechnology sector in the first ten months of 2018, beating the previous full-year record of USD 11 bn in 2017. Moreover, the demand for electrophoresis equipment and its supply market has increased worldwide due to the improvement in the sensitivity, precision, and speed of the electrophoresis equipment. Also, factors such as rising demand for innovative therapies and drugs and an increase in demand and interest in research associated with DNA, genes, and proteins are expected to propel the growth of the market in the forecast period.

However, the use of electrophoretic instruments demands technical expertise and hazardous chemical, which may put technical barriers which are expected to obstruct the market growth.
